Dolores keane nothing to show lyrics

I've been too long away from your lovin'

Too long with my back too the wall

I've been to some far away places

With nothing to show for it all.



I've been to their sights and show cases

I've been through their strong city halls

Men with black suits and no faces

And nothing to show for it all

chorus

I've been too long away from this country

Too long not heeding your call

Now I'm home like some war weary soldier

With nothing to show for it all



I've taken the jibe jester

I've laughed at the joke through it all

He said get back to the place where you came from

You've got nothing to give after all

chorus repeat x2



Breath easy there's someone there waiting

Someone who cares after all
